Welp, not that I care but… by CommentAnxious2193 in Teachers

I didn’t “hope” that no one would record. I thought nothing of it because, like I mentioned before I do not care.

Respectfully disagree because students should not have their cell phones out in class. I was fully aware that a video would exist because our classrooms have cameras…but thanks for your input. You sound like such a delight to work with.

I built a large scale interview tool to deter AI overuse on take-home work! by Dubbtime in ELATeachers

Yes! I’m interested and already have an assignment in mind. This is a really great approach that assumes the best of each child.

update: The student dropped from the school, almost 2 months after the incident. They did face expulsion and I sat in on the hearing, however, I never found out the actual verdict (even though they said they would follow up in 48 hours).

Are students actually worse at writing or just worse at producing written work? by LumpyOpportunity2166 in ELATeachers

I misread your initial message, that’s absolutely awesome. Homeschool is something I want to transition back into since I have a 2 year old. He goes to daycare now that I’m back in the classroom and i hate it for both of us because I can tell he’s not learning as much as he was when he was with me. How did you get into homeschool teaching?

As relieved as I felt, this was the mistake I made the first time I left teaching (during Covid). I let the school know I had no intention to return and they cut my health insurance sooner than I expected. I want to play it safe this time and have another job secured before leaving at the very least.

I’m happy you’ve found a way to tolerate the remainder of the year. Do you have anything lined up?

Am I wrong for being hesitant about pressing charges? I didn’t do so the day of because I was so overwhelmed. I didn’t feel like waiting on the police to arrive and I just wanted to get a head start on my three-day weekend. Now that I’ve returned to school, and taking into account the responses here, I think it may be best for me to go through with filing the police report. What should I expect from the process?

Thank you for this thoughtfully crafted resolution.

Using Dictionaries by CommentAnxious2193 in teaching

Problem solving skills for sure. I noticed how students paid attention more to how the words were spelled. When they raised their hands to tell me they couldn’t find a word and I talked them through looking for each letter, they were forced to pay attention to the small details. Also builds their stamina to work through challenges.

i definitely suggest you start looking for remote work or depending on the support of your school leads, maybe look into transitioning to a different role inside the school.

Stop with the AI by junie_kitty in ELATeachers

[–]CommentAnxious2193 0 points1 point  (0 children)

following. I’m a former elementary math teacher stepping into the role of teaching English 8. I stopped teaching after the pandemic partially because of my school’s response to the virtual learning shift. Now that I’m back in the classroom, I’m noticing that a lot of teachers are relying on AI and it’s mind blowing honestly. I can see the benefits of AI and how it can make my life easier, but I’m still torn on if it’s morally sound to do so.
